It is also the story of Eric Clark's adventures in Palermo, of the depraved Arab girl in the Casbah brothel.

But Albert McCormick, the American journalist, lived and made friends among the real people of Puerto Rico, And when he decides to give a patty at his landlord's house to celebrate El Dia de la Raza (Columbus Day) he invites all of them artists and intellectuals, professional men and shopkeepers, jibaros and prostitutes, and Americans from the mainland. Since they are his friends, they will make a fine fiesta. As McCormick drifts through the city, inviting his friends as he meets them, the reader becomes aware of deep conflicts within them: heritage is at war with aspirations, ideals are at variance with actuality. There are tensions between artist and intellectual, between social worker and the people he wants to help, between dark and light skins even within families, between people who agree that the world should be better but disagree on methods of improving it. XX [From the back cover] THE PUBLIC LIBRARY is the alma mater of Scott Graham Williamson. Since he was confined to bed during most of the early part of his life, his mother, with four library cards, each week selected likely-looking books from the shelves. He never learned anything from the top shelves because his mother was only five feet one inch tall. This education and his returned health gave him a yen for almost anything except a classroom or similar forms of inactivity. And he was almost everything—grapejuice salesman, meteorologist, beggar, dish-washer, ghost writer for a lawyer, a minister, and a psychiatrist, piano player in Mexico (his repertoire consisted solely of Frankie and Johnny), deliverer of cleaned hats, lecturer to women's clubs, and publicity man for (1) a little theatre, (2) some noted Hollywood names, and (3) the 1940 campaign of Roosevelt. During the recent war he served as a counter-espionage agent for the Radio Intelligence Division, and wrote THE FIESTA AT ANDERSON'S HOUSE during that period. It was written in various towns of Puerto Rico, in Washington, New York, New Orleans, parts of North Africa and Italy, and aboard various ships in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Mr. Williamson says that sometimes the writing of it served as an antidote for thinking too much about the hazards of torpedoes, bombs and mines. XX Before dying suddenly at the age of 39, he wrote two more books, A CONVOY THROUGH THE DREAM and THE AMERICAN CRAFTSMAN.…
